Rhymes

A rhyme is a repetition of similar sounds in two or more words and is most often used in poetry and songs.
Generally, rhyme can refer to various kinds of phonetic similarity between words, and to the use of such similar-sounding words in organizing verse. Rhymes are classified according to the degree and manner of the phonetic similarity:

  • syllabic: a rhyme in which the last syllable of each word sounds the same but does not necessarily contain vowels. (cleaver, silver, or pitter, patter)
  • imperfect: a rhyme between a stressed and an unstressed syllable. (wing, caring)
  • semirhyme: a rhyme with an extra syllable on one word. (bend, ending)
  • oblique (or slant/forced): a rhyme with an imperfect match in sound. (green, fiend; one, thumb)
  • assonance: matching vowels. (shake, hate) Assonance is sometimes used to refer to slant rhymes.
  • consonance: matching consonants. (rabies, robbers)
  • half rhyme (or sprung rhyme): matching final consonants. (bent, ant)
  • alliteration (or head rhyme): matching initial consonants. (short,ship)

ok..let try rhymes.. this is my first attempt..

Received a CALL,
It's a nurse from NEPAL,
I was at the MALL,
She said patient had FALL,
His name is Mr PAUL,
He hit his EYEBALL,
Luckily his wound is SMALL.

Now, lets try in Malay language..

Jam sudah 2 PAGI,
Nurse telefon doktor JOHARI,
Doktor Johari perlu pegi OT,
kerana ada OPERASI,
Semua orang dibuai MIMPI,
Tapi doktor Johari BUSY,
Perlu buat APPENDISEKTOMI,
dibantu oleh Doktor MIMI,
operasi siap jam 4 PAGI,
doktor johari tinggal kan OT,
berjalan KAKI, ke kedai dan minum KOPI..

OT = operation theater
Macam mana? Ok tak..

Ok sangat la tu..
Kalau tak mesti kaku..
Orang nanti baling batu..
Aku plak tgk terpaku..
Sambil plak tgk kuku..
Dan tapak kaki yg kematu..
Nasib rambut takde kutu..
Kalau ada pasti masuk buku..
Mcmana nak tackle ratu..
Aku pun tak tahu..
Dah la tu..
Naik nyampah plak aku..
